Snap is launching a new Snapchat lens that can help you learn American sign languages. It is called the ASL alphabet lens and Snapchat is launching it in partnership with sign all. A company that has built technology that can translate sign language.
Led entirely by deaf and hard of hearing team members here at Snap called deafengers. The ASL alphabet lens teaches you to finger spell your name practices the ASL alphabet and play games that put new skills to the test, Snap said in a blog post.
You can try the lens for this links which should open in snap chat if you have the app on your phone. I played around for it for a few minutes and was pretty impressed. The lesson I tried taught me to fingerspell the alphabet. Holding my phone in one hand I did sign with the other by mimicking the hand shapes shown on screen.
